| Join the thousands of companies like yours that have taken control of storage growth with NTP Software QFS® because: |
- Storage is your network's most expensive resource. Protecting that storage and managing
its cost should be the cornerstone of any IT management plan.
- Users assume that if they can do it, it's okay to do it. As long as they regard
storage as free and infinite, they'll consume it like water and abuse it with abandon.
- Companies such as Merrill Lynch have been fined millions of dollars for being unable
to produce documents related to legal or government actions. In most cases, the
proper documents existed, but the company simply couldn't find them on demand. Unrestrained
growth makes it difficult and costly to find what you need, when you need it.

| Controlling storage costs is now job number one, because: |
- Storage is already the most expensive thing on your network. Any plan to control
or reduce IT costs must include storage and storage management.
- Gartner group has explained that acquisition costs are only minor component in storage
costs of ownership. Storage costs of ownership increase exponentially, not linearly
with the amount of storage you have.
- In response to the explosive growth in use consumption, many companies have been
using all of their resources just to provision what their users needed. We now know
what our future (growth, needs) looks like. This means that provisioning is no longer
an emergency effort. Every company needs to go back to managing with cost effectiveness
in mind.

| You need to take control of what's being stored on your network because: |
- Most companies have policies about the use of their systems, no porn, for example.
IT management is responsible for what happens. No one has the time to manually inspect
all the content.
- By keeping MP3s and family photos off the network, you reduce consumption, which
reduces cost.
- In certain situations relating to court ordered discovery, you want to ensure that
particular content is not on the network and especially not in your archives.
- Almost every large company has fired someone for violating their content. There
is no need for this. The technology can prevent any violations and save the company
the cost of replacing someone who may have only had a momentary lapse in judgment.

| Your company should allocate and model storage costs because: |
- The easiest way to reduce storage consumption is to put the costs where they belong
- on the user or department generating the demand. As long as storage is free, why
would anyone pay attention to how much they use?
- Cost allocation generally results in an immediate drop in consumption of about 20%.
- Financial modeling allows you to anticipate future costs and give senior management
the financial planning data they need.

| Good storage management starts and ends with users. Smart companies give users the power to manage their own storage and work on IT's behalf. |
| Users need to work with you, not against you, for proper storage management: |
- Users (appropriately) act in their own interest. For as long as they regard storage as infinite and free, there's no reason for them not to consume it like water. Storage gets no respect.
- Storage is often a highly political resource. Without the right tools and plan, it's almost impossible to implement a complete storage-management solution.
- Rebellious users can cause costs to skyrocket and create massive headaches for IT.
